The text of Improved Familiar states, "You may choose a familiar with an alignment up to one step away on each alignment axis (lawful through chaotic, good through evil)." On its face, this seems to mean that a True Neutral wizard/witch/whatever could have a familiar of any alignment, since even the extreme alignments (Lawful Good, Chaotic Evil, etc.) are no more than one step away from True Neutral on each axis (i.e. one ethics step from neutral to lawful, one morals step from neutral to good). Or am I reading this wrong?
Diagonal counts twice in alignment.
From CE/LE/CG/LG to TN there are two steps.
But only one step "on each alignment axis."

Excellent, that's just the sort of thing I was looking for. Thanks!
